1992 Dodge 3.9L Petrol · J844 CEV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test on 8 August 2025 at 91,977 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for minor electrical issues involving the rear fog lamp, windscreen washer, and wiper blades. While these faults were rectified to achieve the pass, the record indicates that the owner only addresses defects when they result in a legal test failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 34-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between the May 2021 and August 2025 tests, during which the car covered only 1,389 miles. Such extreme low-frequency use often implies the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which frequently leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and internal engine fluid oxidation despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the steering assembly, noting the failure recorded in May 2021 at 90,588 miles due to loose bolts on the steering box. This represents a significant safety concern that requires a physical check of all mounting hardware for structural integrity. Additionally, the 2020 advisory regarding a worn front anti-roll bar linkage suggests that the suspension is beginning to age. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, the priority should shift to identifying hidden structural corrosion in the chassis and checking for seized brake calipers which are common failure points for vehicles that are not driven regularly.
